Co-location for Peanuts
I'm entering a new co-location contract in which bandwidth has the potential to be VERY cheap if I commit to a certain volume ? who better than to soak up the bandwidth than a porn site, I say. I'm willing to give rack space, 100Mbps switch ports, IPs, etc. for free and the incumbent will just pay for bandwidth. Bandwidth is dual OC3 (155Mbps) connections to several major exchange points, (including MAE-West in San Jose, CA; PAIX in Palo Alto, CA; AADS in Chicago, IL; NYIIX in New York, NY; and MAE-East in Vienna, VA) forming rings around the nation with the following peering arrangements:
MAE-West in San Jose (100Mbps FDDI,155Mbps OC3 ATM)
MAE-East (100Mbps FDDI,155Mbps OC3 ATM)
AADS in Chicago
PAIX(Palo Alto Internet Exchange) in Palo Alto
(1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet)
NYIIX (New York Internet Exchange) in New York (100Mbps Fast Ethernet)
MAE-East in Vienna
Level3 Communications
Sprint
MCI WorldCom
Frontier
Pac Bell (155Mbps OC3 ATM)
AADS (Ameritech) (155Mbps OC3 ATM)
My incentive is to make my bandwidth VERY cheap (as well as your own) and you?ll be getting some top-notch co-location on 100% Cisco gear. I?d prefer that you don?t host anything illegal, but what I don?t know is your problem.
If you?re interested, please reply with your rack space needs and relevant bandwidth usage statistics and an e-mail address.
We provide managed firewall protection from DoS attacks, security at the O/S level (root password, services running as root, etc.) are your problem, but other than that, we guarantee 100% network uptime.
